Abstract
In the research, a β-hydroxybutyrate and β-hydroxyvalerate copolymer (PHBV)/polylactic acid (PLA) artificial blood vessel was designed and developed, and it was also implanted in vivo for a period of time to observe its biocompatibility and degradation performance. The results showed that the developed PHBV/PLA artificial blood vessel could be used to replace the natural blood vessel, but its degradation rate was too fast and the mechanical supporting force was insufficient. Thus, properties of the PHBV/PLA need to be further improved.
